We recommend you have some food before your appointment and stay hydrated, you may want to bring some snacks or a drink with you for longer sessions. Please bring photo ID to your appointment.

Having the tattoo area “hair-free” before the appointment would be appreciated.

A little! It’s never as bad as we imagine it to be, and we will take good care of you.

Over-the-counter numbing cream can be applied to the area to help you through your tattoo. We will only tattoo using EMLA or Numb It cream, which can be purchased at your local pharmacy.

Please note that we will not tattoo clients if TKTX has been used.

As we strive to maintain a calm and relaxing atmosphere in our studio, we kindly ask that clients attend their appointments alone. Our reception area has limited seating, which is reserved for clients who are being tattooed. Thank you for your understanding!

Sure do! At day one tattoo we use and stock Aussie Inked and couldn’t recommend a better product for tattoo aftercare. Click link on how to care for your new tattoo.
